You and Your Dog – A Magic Combination

Have you always wanted to be a magician? You can be! You and your dog, that is.

Fun, Easy, Positive

Tricks classes are fun and easy. And remember, it’s all tricks – even Sit.

Have a blast and take the pressure off you and your dog. Do you know how easy it is to teach your dog to open or close a door? Or how much fun to teach a Paws-Up (on a chair or the back of the sofa or on a bed) which is a basic skill for therapy dogs?

Tricks classes use positive reinforcement training methods for rapid learning and to teach your dog how to learn and offer new behaviors - some that will surprise you.

Books, DVDs, Classes

A book can teach you to teach your dog tricks. So can a DVD but the easiest and most fun way is to take a class. Learn how awesome your trick dog can be and join in the fun watching other dogs catch on.
